Needless to say, P66 GC Head Coach/Director Lorrie Bertolet could hardly have been happier.

But, she also experienced waves of nostalgia at the event — hosted by South County Gymnastics — to honor former the late longtime gymnastics coach Hensley. Hensley coached for 45 years.

“I knew Ken for over 40 years,” said Bertolet. “He was definitely one of a kind. In one of our talks years and years ago, he gave me some coaching advice that I adhere to today.”

Based on how Bertolet’s squad performed last weekend, the counsel proved fruitful.

In addition to the two team championships and Greene’s sparkling display, the club also boasted the Level 9 All-Around champion in Madelyn Stuart. Stuart also won both the vault and the uneven bars events.

“Madelyn did a fabulous job … performing her best bar routine and vault of the season, not to mention hitting her triple series on the beam without a wobble,” Bertolet said.

Mallory Stephens, competing at Level 7, also earned special praise from her mentor for winning the gold medal on the balance beam.

“Mallory moved here from Colorado,” Bertolet said. “She has become a great asset to our team as a hard worker and leader.”

Greene dominated in the Level 10, 13-14 age group. She captured three event titles (vault, bars and floor exercise) and locked down second on the beam.

Kylee did an outstanding job with her best performance this season,” Bertolet said.
